<p>For my son (good GPA, excellent SATs) RPI, WPI and Rose Hulman all ended up costing about the same. (RPI’s had the best terms - no required GPA.) All gave similar merit scholarships and maybe a tiny bit of need based grant money (I can’t quite recall). Rose upped their offer slightly when he requested more. It still wasn’t enough to justify the travel expenses for us. Great school, but it’s expensive. Apply to a financial safety or two also.</p>
